Algebraic curves

Twisted cubic

In mathematics, a twisted cubic is a smooth, rational curve C of degree three in projective 3-space P3. It is a fundamental example of a skew curve. It is essentially unique, up to projective transformation (the twisted cubic, therefore). In algebraic geometry, the twisted cubic is a simple example of a projective variety that is not linear or a hypersurface, in fact not a complete intersection. It is the three-dimensional case of the rational normal curve, and is the image of a Veronese map of degree three on the projective line. (Wikipedia).

algebraic geometry 27 The twisted cubic

This lecture is part of an online algebraic geometry course, based on chapter I of "Algebraic geometry" by Hartshorne. It describes two examples: the twisted cubic is isomorphic to a projective line, and the affine plane without the origin is not isomorphic to any affine algebraic set.

Solving a Cubic Equation Using a Triangle

There is this surprising fact about cubic equations with 3 real solutions where an equilateral triangle centered on the inflection point can always be scaled/rotated by some amount such that its vertices will line up with the roots of the equation. But is there any way that this can be us

What are Cubic Graphs? | Graph Theory

What are cubic graphs? We go over this bit of graph theory in today's math lesson! Recall that a regular graph is a graph in which all vertices have the same degree. The degree of a vertex v is the number of edges incident to v, or equivalently the number of vertices adjacent to v. If ever
